Is that what I listed it at?
Thanks for calling that out Ksolem!
10D as I recall.
I say two of the best & most elegant routes:
Hyperion Arch
The Last Unicorn

well, i was in josha tree over the winter break. i don't know what a lot of the areas where i climbed are called because i didn't ask since i think it's nicer to not know. that way you don't have any preconceieved notions about routes - like, o, i can or can't climb THAT grade... but, the one that i did happen to find out the info on is CRYPTIC on headstone rock. that was my favorite one of everything i did down there. the route goes up this cute little arete. "tuolumne_tradster" posted a good photo on the "best aretes ever" thread.

I'd put " The Flake " on the list also. Another good one is "Hands Off". "Negro Girls" is a great face climb. Be cautious on the second pitch. Oh, that's right, I remember now, there is no second pitch. I wondered why there was no pro for about 120 feet. It was thrilling, though.

Hey Roy! Say, that would be great to see some linkup info for those. I gotta go through and see how many I have left to knock off the list. I was surprised how many I've already done.
Whassup with the "10 Hound Rocks" and "10 White Cliffs" notation? Right or Left Baskerville Cracks? Popular Mechanics? Ace of Spades?

These were day trips, more about quality than quantity.
Usually with a fair bit of driving & draggin' to & fro on the feet to link up the routes.
And don't look to them as the most efficient way between lines either, as this tom-foolery was not so well pre-meditated.
On the last topo, we were heading to Okelley's crack, but had a low speed head on collision, so that cut the topo short right there after pitch 6, Rubicon (there's that 5.11- rating, hmmmm)...

On the last list I saw "Taxman" at 5.9. I'm now going to my laughing room and will be there quite some time.
